To al whom t may concern.'

Be itflmown that We, FRANK KUHN and FRANK E. SHAiLoR, citizens of the United States of America, residing Aet Detroit, in the county of vWayne and Sttte oi Michigan, have invented certain new and useful linproreinents lin Electrical Heaters, of which the following isa specification, reference beingr` had therein to vthe accompanying dra wing.

rllie invention relates to electrical heaters, being more particularly designed for use as rz'uiiators for the heatingr of air in' rooms, and adapted for various locations and heet ing eii'ects.

in the drawings: Figure l is a perspective view of the unit; Fig'. 2 is an end elevaion showing the unit mounted on e side wall, end in dot-ted lines showing'various positions et adjustment; lug. 3 is a longitudinal section.' showing the adjustable connection between the casing and its supportii bracket; Fig. 4 is a cross section through the heater; :ind Fig. 5 is e sectional eleveu tion showing the manner of assembling a iii:

.plurality oi1 sections for units of various ji are end plates provided with iiengcd edges E; C is a perforated sheet forming1 housing', extending between the end s A. find engaging the flanges B there- .il i bottom plate which forms a complementary portion ot the housingr C and is screwed or otherwise secured to the end plates .fi to hold the saine in properly spaced relation; lil an imj'mriiorzitc shield extending on one sido of the housing C and around the top thereof, being properly spaced there from and secured by brackets F; and G are supporting; brackets secured to the ends A.

numbers. The end frames J are secured 55 upon insulator supports K upon the bottom member D and ere suitably 'connected to the terminal block L :it the center of the bottom of the casing.

With the construction' es thus for de-` Go scribed, the casing maybe mounted in any desired position sind secured by attachingl the bracket G to the well or other support. lis shown in Fig. 2, vai-rions angles ot' :idjustment may be' obtained by loosening the 65 clamping screw H and turning the casing' upon the brackets G, and in each position of adjustment the shield 'E may be arranged to provide proper protection. When' the' current is turned on the heat generated in '70 the several sections of the unit Willbe dissipated by i'odietion and convection, the Air adjacent to seid sections bein@ free to circo lote .find to pass through the perforations in the casing.

The distribution of the heat nie-y be altered as desired by mounting the casing in dilierent locations, or by extending the casing to different lengths. Thus, Shown in Fig. 5, the length of a casing` may be 8o doubled by placing an intermediate connecting head lil between tivo sections similar to that shown in Fig. l, or it desired e l greater numberl of sections moy i be, iloyed. lgain, if e greater heating` ctlfeo is desired Within the seine space limits, larger number oi the heating units may b placed Within the casing upon the end iframe J, the mechanical construction maininp; the same. Thus the construction is 9e one which is well suited to manufacture and ell the parts may be standardized sind varia tion obtained merely in assembly.

VVhnt We claim as our invention is:

n electrical heater, comprising sections e5 each having' an end heed, e. supporting bracket therefor, e perforated casing; extending from said heed, en electrico-l been ing element within said casing, andinten mediate heads for connecting, seid sections oo to produce heaters ot varying` lengths.
